*PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY WILL BE TRIED IN NEW YORK ON TERRORISM CHARGES IN JANUARY* In a landmark $1 billion New York court case against the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) on terrorism charges, the lawsuit will move forward as established in a landmark November 20 ruling, which paved the way for the PA and PLO to be tried for terrorism conducted by their members during the intifada. Shurat Hadin (Israel Law Center), led by Nitsansa Darshan-Leitner, is helping represent 11 families in the trial who charge the PA and PLO of inciting, supporting, planning and executing seven terror attacks which killed American citizens between 2000 and 2004. Jury selection for the case will begin on January 7, and the trial will launch on January 12, marking the first time the two organizations are put on trial. The lawsuit was originally filed in 2004.
